"Evan is filming, you know, he always devotes himself to his work, otherwise I wouldn't let you come all the way to Vancouver." Teddy Bell still had a simple and decent smile on his face. It's like a student who has just graduated from college, but everyone knows that if you underestimate Teddy Bell, you will definitely suffer in the end. What's more, Teddy Bell has Eden Hudson by his side and behind him. And that **** Evan Bell. "Why, I came to talk to everyone and disappointed you?"

"Where, who doesn't know, Teddy is harder to see than Evan." Lisa Canning took the initiative and stepped forward to meet Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson. Shaking hands respectively, "This year, we all hoped to see you stand on the stage of the Kodak Theater and give your acceptance speech. It's a pity." Lisa Canning refers to "The Blood Will Come", "Wild Survival" and The best picture award just passed by.

This time, Lisa Canning is obviously much more positive than six years ago. Back then, because everyone was not sure about the prospects of the talent show, they were very cautious in negotiating. Although the prospects of "X Factor" after landing in the United States are not yet certain, whether it can pull "American Idol" down is one thing everyone is worried about, but at least, no one wants to be a powerful partner of Eleven Studio. miss.

Teddy Bell smiled shyly, "I'd better not show up easily, it will disappoint many people." Teddy Bell has never been interested in being exposed to the spotlight, even Katherine Bell has now A world-renowned designer, Teddy Bell has never officially appeared in public. "Everyone, please sit down, let's go back to today's theme."

After shaking hands with all four of them, Eden Hudson began to open the file bag and took out all the prepared documents. The top one was the planning book of the American version of "X Factor". Everyone can guess. It is estimated that Evan Bell made some adjustments according to the situation in the United States, and even wrote some novel money-making ideas. You must know that at least two-thirds of the peripheral plans of "American Idol" are By Evan Bell.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Teddy Bell stopped speaking. It was the coffee that came in. After the coffee was all on the table, Teddy Bell spoke again, "Actually, I am inviting everyone to come and attend. Before this meeting, I sent you an email, expressing some of my views on your bids. I invited you here today to ask if you have a new offer.”

Naturally, no one would believe what Teddy Bell said. If Teddy Bell just wanted to "inquire" if there was a new offer, there would be no need to come to Vancouver to meet. In the final analysis, today is about a showdown.

"Teddy, I want to ask, there are so many competitors in the field today, is it..." Ken Burns asked, not that he couldn't hold his breath, but that he had to do it. Now Fox TV is in the most unfavorable state. Not only are they at a disadvantage, but they are also the most eager for the "X factor", so he must take the initiative.

"Do you mean the highest bidder gets it?" Teddy Bell said the second half of Ken Burns's sentence directly, then smiled and shook his head, "No no, if it's just the highest bidder, I will Why bother so much, just let you bid against each other.

"American Idol relied on this method to sell copyright at the beginning, which is simple and rude but very effective.

However, Teddy Bell has now denied this possibility, causing the four of them to have some doubts. The kind is produced by Eleven Studio and broadcast on TV stations. We will share dividends according to a certain percentage, and the entire cooperation project will continue with the broadcast of 'X Factor'." In fact, it is the same as "American Idol", right? Today, without the involvement of Fremantle Media, Eleven Studios is now fully self-sufficient in scale. Before that, all four TV stations had been talking to Eleven Studios according to this plan.

Teddy Belt paused, seeing that everyone had no doubts, and then went on to say, "The second option is to let go of all copyrights in one go. In other words, after a deal is concluded today, the future 'X factor' ' It has nothing to do with Eleven Studios."

After Teddy Bell said this, the four bosses had different expressions, which was really a pleasant surprise. After all, no one will be willing to constantly share their interests with others, and their own TV stations produce their own broadcasts, which is an absolute right. Generally speaking, copyright owners would not be willing to use this scheme, but Teddy Bell actually said that Evan Bell was willing, which made the four TV stations tumble in their hearts. No wonder Teddy Bell brought everyone together today.

If you choose the first plan, in fact, the copyright buyout price is not the most important, and the dividend ratio is the focus of competition; but if you choose the second plan, in fact, the higher price will win. So Teddy Bell has to get the four contenders together, understand the rules, make a choice, and then negotiate. Face-to-face negotiation is obviously much more effective than email.

Eden Hudson was watching the faces of the four delegates. Evan Bell is willing to let go of the "X Factor" completely, but in fact, he has left behind. Moreover, this is just a bait to attract jade, and then it will involve the "Voice of America" of multiple stakeholders such as TV stations, Fox TV, Hulu.com and so on. "It's going to take off again. Evan Bell intends to maximize his interests by taking advantage of the "X Factor" and "Voice of America" in his hands. Hence today's meeting.

The second complete buyout plan has a fatal attraction for TV stations, because they have a general relationship with Eleven Studios, or even have bad relations. If they buy out like "I am a comedy mad" and "Hero", Then the relationship is not the most important, with a high price buyout, one is that Evan Bell will not refuse, and the other is that there is no worries later. Similarly, Fox TV and TV stations have a difficult choice about the buyout plan because of their relationship.

On the contrary, CBS TV station is more inclined to the first plan, not that they are willing to share future profits with Eleven Studio, but comprehensive consideration, on the one hand, Eleven Studio is first-class in producing talent shows, especially with Evan -Bell, it can guarantee that the viewing points will continue to come out in the future; on the one hand, CBS TV station has a long-term view, and naturally does not want to cooperate with Eleven Studio only this time, so it is also very important to maintain a good cooperative relationship.

Of course, Fox TV and TV stations have the same attitude towards the first plan. It is determined by the current attitude of their TV station executives towards Eleven Studios.

It has to be said that although Evan Bell, a small bait, cannot make a decisive judgment, it is very effective in testing the current trend of major TV stations.

Teddy Bell turned his head and exchanged briefly with Eden Hudson. Eden Hudson just whispered "Sam". It can be seen that CBS TV is the most sincere at present. Teddy Bell nodded, then continued, "What I'm trying to say here is, 'X factor, it's not going to be the highest bidder, you just need to report to me the plan of your choice and the final offer. , that's it. Not surprisingly, we will have the final result soon."

Teddy Bell's neatness makes people wonder. After all, the negotiation of details takes a lot of time. Why does Teddy Bell seem to be eager to get rid of the "X Factor". But it's one thing to think wildly. They are not the Bell brothers, so naturally they don't know what medicine they bought in the gourd.

"Evan, then I would like to ask, why don't we use an open auction, and the higher bidder wins? That way we have a better idea." Mark-Bonet said, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the three Competitors, it seems, are seeking a little response.

In fact, Mark Bonet's idea is also reasonable. For example, you can buy it with an open auction of 10 million yuan, and now anonymous bidding, in order to ensure that you can buy out, the price may continue to go up, and there is no cap for this upward trend. Of course, on the other hand, open auctions may also lead to malicious bids from opponents, and it is also possible that the price that could have been bought by 10 million could reach 30 million.

Teddy Bell smiled, "I prefer this simple and rude way, after all, it's the Eleven Studio that benefits in the end, isn't it?" Teddy Bell looked at the other three representatives, this one All of them are foxes who are good at calculating and are reluctant to express their inner thoughts easily. It is estimated that everyone has a computer in their hearts telling them to run.

After confirming that no one echoed Mark Bonet's idea, Teddy Bell said with a smile, "Now it seems that everyone still chooses to be conservative. Then I will wait for your email."

In fact, Ken Burns and Lisa Canning are now evaluating whether it is the first option or the second option. The quotations for different options are very different, so they cannot agree with Mark- Bonet's, once they go along, will reveal their choice, which will also involve future cooperation interests. What Evan Bell wants, they naturally want it, and they don't want to easily expose the true thoughts of the company behind them.

Eden Hudson and Teddy Bell glanced at it calmly. They also guessed this situation. They were scruples and restrained each other, so the method of open bidding and the highest bidder would definitely not work. , even if Teddy Bell puts it forward, it is estimated that they will not let go of their hands and feet to make a public bid. After all, the interests behind these four TV stations are far greater than the "X factor", and no one wants to affect the overall situation for one plan.
